Analysis of a Propane Sphere BLEVE

Analysis of a Propane Sphere BLEVE

The events in March of 2011 in Japan have provided us with an example of what can happen when large LPG spheres are exposed to severe fire engulfment. This paper presents an approximate failure analysis of a sphere exposed to a severe fire engulfment scenario. It estimates the expected failure time...
